Abu Lahya argues that your environment shapes your morality and faith. He contrasts sexualized advertising in France and Ireland, which goes unquestioned, with Muslim-majority countries where it would be banned. Growing up in France, he says, numbs you to sin and makes practicing Islam harder.

Chapters

People say, oh, you're the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with. If you realize the impact your environment had so far over you, you would pack your bags and leave today. For example, let's say you're from Ireland, right? For you seeing an ad, a billboard with someone half naked, it's not shocking. It's aadi because you're used to it. Don't you find that crazy? That you going in the street seeing half woman naked is aadi. Like, it's— I'm not going to say you're going to be okay with it, but you're not going to protest. Good luck putting a billboard in Saudi Arabia, for example. People are going to go outside and prevent their kids from going outside if that's the case. Because they say, no, we're not used to this. This is not normal. Because we're so used to it. I'm from France, by the way. So I'm talking out of first experience. If you're in a bad environment, as in a non-Muslim country, it makes it hard for you to practice your deen, and it makes you numb to the sins. It makes you numb to the things that are bad. Whereas if you're in a Muslim country, the standards is way different. You're 10 years old, you're not hafidh of the Quran, they'll call you a miskin.
